The Wild Beyond Witchlight

I was hoping for a little more time in the inn, but if people want to move things forward, I won't stop it. Could we time skip by an hour though? While I'm not ready to long rest, I wouldn't object to a short one.

@Lurking Krog
Your go.

Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

Descending upon the right flank, Ervdul moved among the combatants with a confident stride. He paused as he passed a highwayman and struck him down with a single punch. "You six!" Ervdul then barked as he turned to the six attackers who had been bearing down on the highwayman "Assist go and assist in pushing back the war construct's advance!" The attackers voiced their compliance, but Ervdul didn't wait for it. He had already moved on to another part of the battlefield where he stuck down another highwayman. "You two!" Ervdul then addressed the two attackers who had been fighting the highwayman. "Ensure that Yosef does not fall to his folly."

Meanwhile, Yosef recovered from Aura's Hex and Eldritch Blast with an angry hiss. "I am going to enjoy killing that caster once I am done with you!" Yosef exclaimed before charging Jørmund and Cascade with scimitar in hand. As he closed the distance, Yosef struck at Jørmund first. Yosef wrong for Jørmund's neck with a blow that would have taken the earth genasi's head clean off had Jørmund not deflected the blow. However, Jørmund did not escape without injury. Yosef's scimitar connected with Jørmund jawbone, leaving behind a nasty gash. Yosef then made a similar swing at Cascade. However, Yosef didn't have nearly as much a desire to see Cascade dead as he did with Jørmund. And so Cascade was more easily able to turn away the reptile's blade.

OOC

Ervdul moves through the right flank and frees up eight soldiers, six to push back the warforged and two to assist Yosef.

Yosef attacks Jørmund and Cascade. He hits Jørmund with a Natural 20, dealing 4 damage, and misses Cascade with a 5.

In fact Brutrumukk probably stinks like good Papa Nurgle himself

@Dark Cloud

You'd think so, but no. His race's affinity for stealth means that Brutrumukk instinctively keeps track of anything that may hinder his ability to go undetected. Scent included.

I'm doing alright. Sorry for taking so long. I'll try to have something up soon.

"Hah! Finally! You got a good eye, there!" The half-orc exclaims.

"I'm glad you think so." The former old man replied, what few motes of nervousness he'd felt about approaching the half-orc vanishing as the scimitar was sheathed.

"What are you lot doing in these ruins?" The half-orc then asked. "People weren't supposed to be able to enter here, right ol' timer?"

"We were just as confused as you are about that." The man answered. "Though before you arrived, Marbess here figured out that us being here was the result of a Reincarnation spell... Speaking of Marbess, I noticed that he reacted with fear when you mentioned who you'd need to call. Should we be concerned about meeting Lyd?"

OOC

The former old man rolls a 22 to persuade information and assistance regarding Lyd out of the half-orc.

Here's another bit of lore I've come up with.

Fallen Angels

When mortals think of fallen angels, they tend to think of those that have turned their back on all that is good and became something more akin to a fiend than a celestial. However, those kinds of fallen angel aren't the only kind out there. When an angel is first created, they are instilled with a deep-seated devotion to law and goodness. And it is any deviation from this initial alignment, no matter how slight, that marks an angel as fallen. With there being nine possible alignments other than lawful good, fallen angels can be sorted into eight different categories.

The Shackled: Fallen angels of neutral good. Taking their name from the heavy chains they wear out of guilt over their unlawful actions, the Shackled no longer commit themselves fully to the cause of law. Though they remain loyal to the forces of good. Being one of the two fallen angels to have deviated the least from their original alignment, they are prone to old habits and will often continue to fight for law even though they no longer believe in it so fervently. But when a choice between what is lawful and what is good must be made, the Shackled will always choose that which is good.

The Unbound: Fallen angels of chaotic good. Seeing the vileness that is perpetrated and perpetuated by the law can drive even its most ardent supporters to abandon it. The Unbound are living proof of this. Eternal rebels and immortal revolutionaries, the Unbound travel wherever the forces of law and evil are strongest, often leaving a trail of toppled tyrants and deposed dictators in their wake.

The Blind: Fallen angels of lawful neutrality. The Blind take their name from the blindfolds they wear to represent their blind commitment to law. Being one of the two fallen angels to have deviated the least from their original alignment, they are prone to old habits and will often continue to fight for good even though they no longer believe in it so fervently. But when a choice between what is lawful and what is good must be made, the Blind will always choose that which is lawful.

The Grey: Fallen angels of true neutrality. Named for the grey hue their skin takes on after their fall, the Grey are as difficult to define beyond that point as the alignment they take on is. Some work to maintain a cosmic balance, serving one alignment one day and another the next to achieve that end. Others fall into a state of complete apathy, refusing to take a side in any matter regardless of its significance. Others still abandon traditional morality altogether, taking on a new and completely alien mindset.

The Wild: Fallen angels of chaotic neutrality. The Wild are utterly unpredictable. Their allegiances, their motivations, and almost every other aspect about them can and will change on a whim. Having not strayed too far from the path of good though, their antics are rarely malevolent in nature. More often than not, the worst they will do is bring down a wide variety of inconvenient mischief on someone who has caught their interest or drawn their ire. The Wild will also often find their way into the Feywild, where they may pledge their services to an archfey for however long their interest in doing so remains.

The Tyrannical: Fallen angels of lawful evil. These are the fallen angels most well known to mortal kind, due to the former archdevil Zariel being a fallen angel of this category prior to her redemption during the Descent. Contrary to popular belief, not all of the Tyrannical are servants of the Nine Hells. Many instead pledge themselves to lawful evil gods such as Laduguer, Maglubiyet, and Sargonnas.

The Villainous: Fallen angels of neutral evil. They care for nothing save their own personal gain. Some travel to the material plane to become crime lords, conquerors, and cult leaders. Others descend upon the lower planes to serve as mercenaries in the cosmic conflicts that rage their. However, most simply vanish. Where they have gone and what - if anything - they are up to unknown even to the most omniscient diviners in the multiverse.

The Vilest: Fallen angels of chaotic evil. They are everything an ordinary angel is not, with those few who fall this far barely being recognizable as celestials. The Vilest are absolutely despised by ordinary angels, who relentlessly pursue any that fall to these darkest depths and will stop at nothing to see them slain.

The Bestial: Fallen angels who have lost enough of their intelligence to become unaligned. Stripped of their intellect, the Bestial become little more than the beasts from which they take their name. Acting purely on instinct, these fallen angels wander without purpose and without aim. With the restoration of their intelligence usually being all that is required to bring them back to their original lawful good alignment, almost every story regarding the Bestial revolves around adventurers questing to find the angel and fix their broken mind.

A Marching Order please. ^_^

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Brutrumukk will be hoisting Jub onto his shoulder when the party sets off again, so wherever in the order Brut is, Jub will be there as well.
